Abstract

This article analyzes the impact of the socio-psychological adaptation process of adolescents with disabilities on their cognitive development. Adolescence is considered a crucial stage in the formation of personality, entry into the system of social relations, and self-awareness. During this period, the adaptation of adolescents with disabilities to society directly affects their intellectual, emotional, and social development indicators. The article highlights psychological support systems, inclusive educational environments, methods that stimulate cognitive development, and the results of practical research. Based on empirical experience, findings are presented that demonstrate the positive influence of socio-psychological adaptation on cognitive processes.
